Cosmetic Surgery Malpractice

Georgia Plastic Surgery Negligence

Cosmetic surgery is often seen as elective, and may be considered less serious by some among the general population than other medical procedures. However, cosmetic surgery is still surgery, and cosmetic surgery malpractice can lead to serious injuries for its victims. Doctors who perform these procedures are held to a standard of care within their field. When this standard is breached and patients are injured, there may be grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Cosmetic Surgery Claims

In a cosmetic surgery claim, negligence must be proved according to the accepted standard of care within the medical community. Other cosmetic surgeons and medical journals help to establish what these standards are for certain procedures and general physician behavior. If a cosmetic surgeon is not properly trained for the procedure he or she performed, misrepresented his or her experience or credentials, or did not properly inform the patient of the risks and alternative to the surgery, it may be considered cosmetic surgery malpractice.

Cosmetic surgery should not be considered frivolous, nor should claims of medical negligence related to these procedures. Cosmetic surgeons often help victims of other injuries or disease feel like themselves again through reconstructive procedures. At Morgan & Morgan, we respect each patient’s right to quality medical care, and patients who have been injured due to another’s negligence, regardless of the circumstance, deserve justice.
